Alternatively if you want to measure your overall energy consumption and aren't too worried what is generating the load, then I would suggest looking into the Home Assistant Glow project on github (https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow) - assuming you have a suitable electricity meter - for a couple of pounds you can put together a light sensitive diode and an ESP8266 (or similar) to create a device to sit over the flashing light on the meter to calculate usage. I have found it pretty accurate - it seems to match my billed usage pretty closely (within 3-5kw per month).

- My electricity provider’s consumption interface wasn’t flexible enough, so I went for the jugular and started retrieving real-time usage by attaching a photoresistor to my meter’s light that blinks 1000 times per kilowatt-hour.
- trying too setup the non invasive power meter got the diode reporting back the flashes per minute what do I need too do too convert this into a usable measurement I know the led on my meter flashes 3200 times for 1KWH
